Been laying low the past couple of weekends, but I did find a couple of things here and there. Not going to post my usual suspects...

Found a few items that were duplicates I sold to the person who got me going with the whole "American Tiki Culture" obsession. Found four scorpion bowls in his neck of the woods and he ended up with the Orchids Volcano bowl and the large Trader Dicks Outrigger bowl...

2'+ wooden carved tiki, this one survived a fire. The back is burnt!

Coco Joe's plaque. Second one I have found.

Trader Dick's Tiki scorpion bowl. Numero dos por mi!

Very happy to have found this and I almost missed it...Tepco "Sea Life" scorpion bowl!

I think this paddle/war club is from Samoa, but I am still looking for an example that is close. Please help be smarter because of tiki if you know the origin of this. Nearly 4' long and very heavy. Seller mentioned Fiji and WWII, but I am not sure because of the color of the finish (although the carvings are filled with white ochre). Looking at the discoloring, it appears to have been used as a paddle at some point?

Later,

PTD
